okay fine I'll stick to Sonic games

SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #27

Song: Labyrinth Zone
Game: Sonic the Hedgehog
Composer: Masato Nakamura

Ah, water levels. You're so maddening, but so memorable. Labyrinth Zone codified basically everything about the series' handling of water, including the use of calm, soothing music so you can be properly scarred for life by the intrusion of the drowning jingle. Let the guitar and bass wash over you with their simple back-and-forth, like waves on a beach PANICPANICAIRPANIC enjoy the relaxing melody, collect big ring caches PANICOHGODWHERESTHESWITCHPANICPANIC then run headlong into a spear trap, go scrambling for your lost rings PANICPANICWHYDIDTHATFLOORDROPAWAYPANICPANICPANICPANIC blurble blurble die

It really does seem like a day out tune doesn't it haha. So chilled and relaxing, until that jingle. Still, the tune is pretty good in the stage itself, but you better have da skillz or you will get very annoyed as it starts from the beginning every time you hear something else, be it drowning, getting a life, any kind of sound clip that overrides the tune and you will be greeted with 'dun dun dun duuuun dun dun' Having been in a situation where I heard this several times in 30 seconds it got scarred into me. I guess you could say you have to dive into the mellow here.

US. My harddrive space is pretty limited, so I can't always download what they have available. But ICO is only 1.7GB, and SoTC is about 6GB! So I'll finish ICO again then play SoTC.

Haha, funny GIF. I wish I was able to get into the Arkham games. I'm sure they deserve all the praise they get, but I couldn't enjoy them as much as I wanted to.

What issue were you having?

It's just, I'm a guy who doesn't really like stealth games, because I always feel like I'm completely screwed when I get caught (even if that's not technically the case) - but these games feel different somehow. If I get spotted, I can pretty easily fly up to the various footholds above everyone and become invisible again. As a result, whereas in most stealth games I feel like I'm being hunted and have to hide and pick my battles very methodically, here I'm quite clearly the hunter, and DAMN does it feel good.

Granted, this only applies to the stealth segments of the games (basically when you're up against more than one person at once having firearms to shoot you with), and the games have plenty of moments where your opponents aren't armed as such, where you just beat them to a pulp. That feels surprisingly fluid, too. Although, it gets kind of confusing when you have to start doing cape twirls to disarm knives and jump over enemies with riot shields to attack their unguarded back sides; it's fine one-on-one, but in large groups, you'll find yourself trying to pull off the correct move to handle these special enemies, but wind up missing because another enemy was closer to you. Still some of the best fisticuffs mechanics I've ever seen, though.

That's not what people usually mean by "burning a disc", PKrockin.

I just read the manual. There are no "secret tips." The closest thing is a list of all the people involved in the game who must pay for this abomination with their lives.

SNAP THAT SHIT

Yeah, don't do that. Just sell it. :p

Then some other poor soul would have to suffer through it. If the previous owners of this game had the good conscience to destroy it I wouldn't have had to do it myself.

I can't remember if you ended up playing Sonic 06 or not, but man I'd hate to see what you'd do to that. I know there were a few GAF members who completely broke their Sonic 06 discs because they couldn't take it anymore.

One of our lurkers who's otherwise level-headed broke one of his controllers while playing the game.

Only time I've ever intentionally broken a game was when a friend and I split his copy of DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 by tapping it with a Fanta bottle a few times. We didn't really hit it hard or anything, were just joking around with a few light taps on the disc and it went snap. The only real entertainment to be gleaned from that game is the hilarious translation of the manual though, so it was no big loss.

I don't usually destroy things, even if they're shit. Just feels wasteful.

I did play Sonic 06 all the way through. It was the first Sonic game I played after SA2B like ten years ago. And, honestly, Secret Rings is so, so much worse. I was mostly just bored and falling asleep during 06. Secret Rings made me angry like no other game has.

*cough cough* okay that's a lot of smoke

Maybe I will slip it in my Gamestop's store shelf with a note in it that says "Please reconsider. There are so many good games out there. Don't end up like me."

Btw I don't know if you are still here but if you could make one of your future projects about Dota that would be awesome. I think your style could give a really unique feeling to the setting and the community is massive on reddit in particular so if someone posted there it could be pretty successful.

Now back to sonic things, is Lost World holding up those who have it now?

Wow, that fresco's very beautiful. So much colour. Good work, Orioto! I'm very happy the "Tails drowning and dying" bit got in. And I think the panels flying off and hitting the Clucker in the face was cute. >.>

Thanks for sharing it.

Also, JC, does this hold up?

9/10: Sonic 2(SMB3)
8/10: Sonic 3, Sonic Colors, Sonic Rush Adventure(DKC3)

That is a pretty nice piece, orioto.

Yeah, that's sheer madness.

Still haven't played Origins despite getting it free on PS+. Rather I just finished Never7 and Phoenix Wright comes out in a few days.

I feel like it's necessary to put this in here, too, as it's probably a decent topic of conversation.

Regarding Sonic Lost World (Thanks, Azure Dream):
Azure Dream said:
A couple pages back I posted that really bad Super Sonic video. Here's a much clearer one, and unfortunately, it shows how... "rough" his implementation is. A lot of animations revert to just standard Sonic spines and don't look particularly Super.

Another video shows that it doesn't even properly switch the side-mouths, which standard Sonic does, so he has double-mouth all the time.

They even bothered to put in a waiting animation for skydiving, so I think this hints at Super Sonic as a very rushed inclusion.

[Edit: ending spoilers]
There's no secret boss or extra scenario, either.

I don't like it at all. Sonic's core mechanics are pretty good but the game's overarching conceit for stage design just doesn't make for enjoyable levels. It's about as fun as X-Treme looked.

Should've been this reworked moveset in a more straightforward Colours followup.
